What can kings? To marry on love!
What can kings? To marry on love!
On the eve of visit of members of the Swedish royal family in
Arkhangelsk the correspondent of "the North Truth" has visited Stockholm.
Paradoxes of a trade: today you, idle time provincial
The journalist, on an old-fashioned habit avoiding material friendship
With the authorities and oligarchs (which comes to an end any more only
Material service), you knead a dirt of a native city on road on
Job with a notion of compulsion about advance payment, and tomorrow to you call from
The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs also invite to Stockholm, in a palace, to a meeting with
The king. And you live in magnificent hotel, walk on one of
The most beautiful cities of the world, you meet ministers and, in general,
You correspond. And then you come back home, in a foul place
Political fuss and market economy, you learn from news, that
The city is ready by the winter as never, you come into the dank
Office and, not removing a jacket, you have a seat in front of the computer...
The Swedish minister of trade has not arrived once to Arkhangelsk
Because of frosts.
Besides members of royal family to Russia - Moscow, Petersburg,
Arkhangelsk and Murmansk - will arrive representatives of Swedish
The governments, parliament, the various state organisations
And large firms. Business delegation under the plan will head Lejf
Pagrotski - the Swedish minister of trade with Russian-Polish
The roots, hearing in the childhood from mother Russian songs.
Once the minister already was going to to Arkhangelsk - in quality
The fan - on the World championship on bandy. But because of
Strong frosts to fly has not risked. But now promises to bring
The special program of cooperation with our area.
According to Lejfa Pagrotski, corruption is essential, but
Not the most important problem for Russian-Swedish trading and
Business cooperation. Not developed infrastructure (to what personally
I would carry also the same dirt underfoot) and the developed bureaucracy stir
Sometimes more strongly kriminala.
Russia, the minister has diplomatically noted, now will not name very much
The important participant of world trade, and it would like, that a role
The countries-neigbours has increased. From recommendations: it is possible, of course,
To trade in wood, but it is better - furniture, from this wood made.
By the way, the office at the minister will be less, than many of those,
That it is possible to see in Arkhangelsk.
Deputies riksdaga spend the night in riksdage.
Visiting of the Swedish parliament - riksdaga - was not from
The exclusive. In the sense that its doors for the people are opened without
Any admissions. Any can come on parliamentary hearings or
On free excursion. It is opened for the public and library
riksdaga.
Is right to express openly the opinion - one of the cores
Positions of the Swedish Constitution. Moreover, to people public -
Politicians - should express openly: in parliament
There is no ballot.
In general ability to live of the Swedish state bodies
It is transparent, as "Absolute": it is possible to glance, for example, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
To familiarise with all entering-outgoing documents, for
Exception unless diplomatic pouches. And so everywhere. (I Imagine
Picture - I come, means, in administration: "So" Lukoil "
Future for us prepares? "And at once - answers to all questions.
Fairy tale? And for what we are born?).
Since 1971 Swedish riksdag became unicameral. In it
Select 349 deputies who possess the unique privilege
- Free of charge to go by public transport. Capital apartments
In economically safe Sweden to nonresident members of parliament
For some reason do not give. The one who has no apartment in Stockholm or
Saves on hotel, lives here, in riksdage. Offices are supplied
Beds, sofas, refrigerators, per capita booths and
Toilets. Skromnenko and it is temporary: have not re-elected - release
The area. At the moment of our visiting on a workplace lived 70
The person.
The director of the Nobel fund speaks Russian without accent.
To be in Stockholm and not to visit the Nobel museum? To us has carried
It is even more: we have met Michel Sulmanom, executive
The director of the Nobel fund who disposes of the will
Alfreda Nobelja also finances the Nobel committees, annually
Awarding awards in area of physics, chemistry, medicine,
Literatures, strengthenings of the world and economic sciences.
Father Michel Sulmana worked as the diplomat in Moscow, it in that
Time studied at usual capital school. From here - magnificent
Russian, however, not without accent: Michael Gorbachev at a meeting with
The director of the Nobel fund has told, that the acquaintance hears
The Moscow dialect. And the grandfather of Mr. Sulmana - then 25-year-old young
The person - became according to will Alfreda Nobelja its manager
Wills.
In that office where nine members of board sit
The Nobel fund, Michel Sulman told to us, that Nobel
Named itself a social democrat, was a radical, the adherent
The American social order, a cosmopolitan, considered, that
The inherited riches spoil people and the will have written,
Without the aid of lawyers whom did not like.
Apparently, the world is obliged by Nobel Prizes of Russia, for
Father Alfreda - Emmanuil Nobel, the inventor and the businessman - to
To the fortieth years of the nineteenth century in Sweden it is definitive
Has gone bankrupt. The family lived in misery, while in their 1842 not
Have invited to St.-Petersburg where Nobeli, on the contrary, have succeeded, and
Alfred has developed the first three patents.
There was it, possibly, in kind enough versatile and
The inconsistent: freely knew five languages, including
Russian, dreamt to become the writer, but the life most part was engaged
Working out of patents and manufacture of the various weapon. And in
History has entered not only as the founder of the award of the world, but also as
The inventor of dynamite.
According to Michel Sulmana, data about a discussion course in committees
Nominees of applicants for awards are stored in strict secret in
Current of fifty years. He does not agree that the award on
To the literature have not awarded in due time to Lev Tolstoi.
(The practical information: to www.nobelprize.org address it is possible,
Having come into section "Medicine" to practice in development of the conditional
Reflex at virtual dog Pavlova. A site devoted Alfredu
Nobelju and to winners of awards of his name - last child of fund,
Which to us too ljubovno have shown).
What can kings? To marry on love!
And it is visible at first sight on Their Majesties. Charles XVI
Gustav married on Silvii Renate Zommerlat, daughters of German
The businessman and brazilianki, in 1976. And there were they on
The Munich Olympic games of 1972, where the future queen
Sweden worked as the senior guide-translator at organising committee.
Our foty-minute conversation had informal character, that,
As has underlined a royal environment, takes place to be enough
Seldom, especially in cases with foreign journalists.
Preliminary instructing was reduced to the request to be presented and on
Possibilities not to set frankly political questions. Not
Happens any dosmotrov portfolios, metal detectors or
Bodyguards breathing in a nape. Thus at me has not arisen
Sensations, that the royal family is protected worse, than secrets of office
"Arhangelskgeoldobychi".
Openness atmosphere - by contrast with professional
The Russian experience - one of the most pleasant impressions from
Trips. Was, there was and at us about ten years ago vague time, when
The first secretary obkoma risked personally to take a tube of phone,
And to learn (instead of to fix) its opinion, was not necessary
To register for a week forward. So in general an openness we
Tried. Has not taken root. And here has blossomed magnificently. And consequently we
Alone with the king and the queen, and the press-secretaries-security guards, if
Also stand up for a portiere it is intelligent and silent.
About political questions. I do not know, whether it is possible to carry to that
Question on sights of the king on prespektivy monarchy in general and
Afghani in particular, but Charles XVI Gustav has expressed in that
Sense, that with successors of a crown of the hottest for today points
Planets it is not familiar and to judge possibility of their restoration on
Throne to it it is difficult. And in Sweden monarchy existence
Support about 80 percent of the population and it is not
Political institute, and is faster a historical symbol,
Duties of the king carry basically representation and
Ceremonial character. XVI Gustav's Charles's motto - "For Sweden -
In a foot in due course "and he tries to correspond to representations
About the modern Swedish king that is to be ready to changes
In a society and the world.
About the historical persons calling interest. "Historical
Figure? Swedish? Recently me more and more
My ancestor - Bernadot interests... ".
The first Bernadot, based a dynasty to which belongs and
Charles XVI Gustav, was not the Swede, and the Frenchman. Happens so, that in
1810 the Swedish throne remained without the successor. Owing to some
The political reasons the choice has fallen on the French marshal, the participant
Jean Batista Bernadota's Napoleonic wars, which, between
Other, was not a nobleman, and the career had appeared obliged
The French revolution. Such here a twist of fate. By the way
Subsequently Jean Batist Bernadot who has accepted a name of king Karlja
JUhana, has joined a coalition against Napoleon.
About children's dreams of the king and the queen. "Yes", - the queen has responded:
"Certainly, in the childhood as any girl, I played dolls, listened
Fairy tales on princesses also dreamt of the prince. And you, your majesty,
Dreamt to become the king? "Charles XVI Gustav after a question of the queen
Silvii has cheerfully burst out laughing: "Is not present, I dreamt to become the driver...".
Strange business, during that moment I have easily imagined the head
The Swedish state the little boy. The king sat hardly
Carelessly, the queen - it is hardly reserved, and we talked to the liking
In pair, instead of with public statuses which they personify.
Any pseudo-relevancy - a frequent component of image strong
The world Russian. Here it is interesting, WHEN Chubays was small, with
Curly head? Or he and was born with idea of privatisation in
To head also has first of all said: "the Voucher!"?
About religion. In spite of the fact that the majority of Swedes
Identify itself with its state Lutheran church
The real role in a society is small. The king has confirmed it and has told,
That in Russia, how much he knows, affairs are differently.
About sports. "Unfortunately, at me now not so it is a lot of time
For playing sports. On the TV I prefer to look hockey.
In football I am interested less ".
About forecasts concerning collision western and east
Civilisations. "In Sweden there are no collisions on this soil and I not
I think, that they can arise. At us lives much enough
Moslems, but the Swedish society is opened and is tolerant to the various
To the points of view, religions and traditions ".
About visit on the North. "I was going to for a long time to visit northern part
Russia. Its majesty some times happened in St.-Petersburg with
Private visits, and I in this region of the country go for the first time. I saw
Video-film about the Arkhangelsk area. Very much it was pleasant to me
The nature. It seems, at you there many open landscapes,
Air... ".
